Rezensionen

"This volume gathers 18 papers from among over 100 that were presented at the 17th Evolutionary Biology Meeting at Marseilles. ... the volume offers an opportunity to learn about topics that we may not follow closely. For those of us who teach an evolution course, this book offers many case studies that our undergraduate students would enjoy." (Joseph Travis, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 91 (1), March, 2016)
